Felix Baumgartner did not break the sound barrier!

Regardless, it doesn't take away from his achievement at all!

That's based on what you saw on the screen. Only the sensors in his suit will tell the final story...

fuck his suit. not even had a head cam in it. and no he didnt break it.

And this is where you need to be careful about what you post. The sound barrier at the altitude he jumped at is lower. Read the science first - - - Then make your comments.

man becomes more and more godlike ....

Just a question:

If he had broken the sound barrier, what the sonic boom would do his ears?

Seriously, dude. You don't know what you are talking about:

"The speed of sound varies inversely with the square root of the density of the medium through which it travels.As the density of air changes with altitude the speed of sound also changes."

Yep, obviously compared to what you've accomplished today with this post, Baumgartner's dive was an absolute and total failure.

You're a blathering idiot.

yo but now i have to check again. relax they will back up my claim in press conference then.

read this article twice, then call me in the morning. It's OKAY to be excited about this jump. Be happy that science can progress.

i dont read and i will not call you. and please fuck off with science.

i cant stand people that trust in science too much. you are right though that in higher altitudes the lower density of air lowers the sound barrier.

So, if you don't believe in science, how can you possible care about the speed of sound? You do know that it was SCIENCE that discovered it in the first place, right? After I typed this sentence I realized that I think I might be talking to a kid. I should probably stop. Go read a book.

He broke the sound barrier..

Says so right here..

Unfortunately, this guy doesn't know what he is talking about. Felix made a huge breakthrough for science and engineering today. This is awesome. :)

Yes, he did, at 100,000 feet above sea level the speed of sound travels at 690mph, he was at 729mph...he broke it.

Here, OP. Nice fail on your part.

Felix Baumgartner traveled faster than the speed of sound, achieving Mach 1.24: 833.9 miles per hour

Seems to me not breaking the sound barrier, saved his life.

Lol mad bro?

Damn OP your stuuuupid..fail^2

Ah and there was a head cam

Do some research THEN post

breaking the sound barrier would be silent to the participant as the boom would be behind him (faster than sound )

lol

Op your a

Just another of your many life failures OP.

OP is a moran who doesn't know the sound barrier is variable depending on height.

Nope, but he did shit his pants ! Twice

Classic...

:buttfail:

Height and Density of atmosphere

Just curious ...
Why was there no visual, like has been see in other circumstances where there is an arc like presence when the 'sound barrier' is broken?
Why was there no audio recorded 'boom' during the free fall?
...and if what others are saying, regarding the difference in air, would 'sound' not travel faster in such an atmosphere were there is MUCH LESS RESISTANCE?
I'm not saying either way it was all real, or cgi or anything, I am just curious in the conversation.

Anyone who could explain these things in laymans terms and at the end still sound resonable?

Appreciated.
